[h=3]Abstract[/h] The most common fullerene member C[SUB]60[/SUB] displays many biological applications, such as, anticancer, human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus inhibitors, O[SUB]2[/SUB] uptake inhibitor and vectors for drug and DNA. Nevertheless, the innate hydrophobicity of C[SUB]60[/SUB] constrains its further development. We introduced cyclodextrins to enhance the water-solubility of C[SUB]60[/SUB]. Nine cyclodextrin-C[SUB]60[/SUB] conjugates, including seven α-cyclodextrin-C[SUB]60[/SUB] conjugates and two γ-cyclodextrin-C[SUB]60[/SUB] conjugates, were designed and synthesized. All of these conjugates did not show obvious cytotoxicity. The anti-influenza virus activity of nine conjugates was assessed. Two γ-cyclodextrin-C[SUB]60[/SUB] conjugates, which were relatively more water-soluble, exerted higher inhibition with IC[SUB]50[/SUB] values of 87.73 μM and 75.06 μM, respectively, than seven α-cyclodextrin-C[SUB]60[/SUB] conjugates.
